Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation Review!

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Halloween and are getting used to the time change! Today I am going to be reviewing Rimmel London's Stay Matte Liquid Mousse foundation. Here's the run down from the official Rimmel London US website:

A feather light, oil free formula with an airy mousse texture that won’t feel heavy or greasy. Delivers all day shine control and blends flawlessly for a natural looking matte finish. Minimizes the appearance of pores.

I really like the packaging, however it gets dirty really easily, as I accidently set it in my setting powder and the cap is now the same color as my setting powder!

On the left is before the foundation, and as you can see I have pretty bad dark circles under my eyes. On the right is with the foundation and you can see the dark circle have diminished pretty well.

Same as above, but with a front view, left is before and right is after. You can see that compared to the left that my face is matte, and any discoloration (especially those under eye bags!) has disappeared.

Now the package looks like there may not be a lot of product in it, but it has the same amount, 1 fl oz. which is the same as most other foundations. One thing I like is that it's a mousse, so it's not as runny as a normal foundation, you also don't need a lot, a pea size amount will due just fine. The feel of it when it's applied is also really nice, it's very smooth, and as someone who extremely dislikes the feel of foundation, I found it really nice.

The only down side that I have come across is that if you have dry skin, then this may not be the right foundation for you. I myself have dry skin, but with a good moisturizer, I found it was fine and didn't appear cakey or flakey. Tell me your thoughts on the foundation in the comments, on Twitter (@NoMercy4Beauty) or on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/BeautyIsMerciless).

Hope you all have a great day!
